Holy and Sepaate

Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, having the inscription: 
The Lord knows those who are His, and everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from unrighteousness. 2 Tim 2:19

The first part of this: the Lord knows who are His, comes from Nimbers 16:5 these were words spoken by Moses when Korah and his followers rose up in rebellion. Moses had holy fear and knew judgement was coming, and it did. The ground opens up and swallowed the rebels all alive. This was a scary show of holiness. We, God's people must be separate from the ways of the world, this is our mark, our tattoo.

Having said, 'God knows who are His,' I am mindful that He knows who are destined to be His and who I have a role in bring through to Him. I am excited for Him, I am excited for the chance to love the lost. Wednesday is the day they come together, to be found, harnessed together to work for a common goal. My heart is bursting with love for these people and I pray for wisdom to know how to handle them.

This brings back memories of my childhood when I tried to bring a group of girls together to form a secret club. I created a secret language and badges but did not know how to run a meeting and was intimidated. Now, I am at it again, for a skate park, for people, for community. I have a vision to break down the barriers and divides between the left and right and love them through to a completeness.

There are people coming from the worst possible lives and the best possible lives. The ones that suffer find it easy to resent those who do not suffer but my goal is to love them and teach those who do not suffer tolerance and love. Only God can do this! May His kingdom come His will be done! Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
